The Laryngoscope, 1997
AbstractSymptomatic Zenker's diverticula are usually treated with diverticulectomy and myotomy. Other, more conservative open procedures consist of diverticulopexy, imbrication, and myotomy alone. These more conservative procedures do not result in a breach of esophageal mucosa and should have more rapid postoperative recovery.

Digestive Diseases, 1998
Zenker’s diverticulum is a pouch protruding posteriorly above the upper esophageal sphincter, in the Killian’s triangle, an area of relative weakness. Zenker’s diverticulum was thought, for many years, to occur as a result of cricopharyngeal incoordination but more recent evidence points to poor upper sphincter compliance with diminished sphincter ...

Familial Zenker's diverticulum
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2008The aetiology of Zenker's diverticulum is likely to be multifactorial. The geographical and racial variation in the prevalence and the rare familial cases suggest that genetic predisposition might have a role in the pathogenesis. The mode of inheritance in the rare possible familial cases seems to be autosomal dominant; recessive inheritance is non ...

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2002
The treatment of patients with a Zenker's diverticulum is endoscopic or surgical. Whichever procedure is chosen, the most important component of the procedure is a thorough cricopharyngeal myotomy. This can be accomplished either externally through a neck incision or internally with an endoscope.

Carcinoma in a Zenker's diverticulum
Head & Neck Surgery, 1979AbstractZenker's diverticulum is a common developmental anomaly seen usually in the elderly. Carcinoma in this pharyngoesophageal outpouching has been reported in only 23 instances. A 55‐year‐old woman is presented whose only symptoms were dysphagia and periodic regurgitation of bloodstained material.

Archives of Surgery, 1998
The surgical treatment of Zenker diverticulum relieves dysphagia, coughing, and aspiration in nearly all patients. An understanding of the physiological basis for cricopharyngeal myotomy and anatomical detail has contributed to the high success rate. Meticulous technique in this elderly patient group is essential to prevent complications.

The Zenker’s diverticulum is an out pouching of the hypopharynx arising between the fibers of the cricopharyngeus inferiorly and the inferior constrictor superiorly. This region of herniation is known as Killian’s triangle. Patients often present with a longstanding history of gradually increasing dysphagia of both solids and liquids.

Pharyngoesophageal (Zenker’s) Diverticulum
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983The Mayo Clinic surgeons have the largest experience in the world in dealing with pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. This experience has now grown to 888 patients treated between the years 1944 and 1978. In that period, their approach has undergone changes. The reasons behind these changes and their results are discussed.

Treatment of Zenker's diverticulum
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2001Although Ludlow1 in 1769 gave the first description of a pharyngo-esophageal diverticulum, it is named after Zenker who gave a precise pathologic description more than one century later2. Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is the commonest type of diverticulum in the upper gastro-esophageal tract.
